The June 2026 Photoshop update is here, bringing more creative choices and meaningful workflow fixes. What’s newThis release expands creative choice in Generate Image with access to custom‑trained AI models, similar to what you’ve seen with Generative Fill. You can now choose from Adobe and partner models, including Firefly Image 5, Flux.2 Pro, and Gemini, making it easier to explore different visual styles, achieve stronger photorealism, and get results that stick closer to your prompts. Whether you’re experimenting with concepts or polishing production‑ready visuals, having multiple models at hand gives you more control over how your ideas come to life. Bug fixes — thanks to you!Your feedback continues to shape these updates. In this release, we’ve addressed several customer‑reported issues to make everyday workflows more reliable:Canvas size relative mode fields display incorrect default values, reject zero and negative values, and use incorrect increment steps. Add support to renam
Hello, Other than disconnecting from the internet, How can I turn off Photoshop's "Generative AI features."
1. SummaryIn Photoshop 27.9.1, native Spectrum widgets (sp-textarea / sp-textfield) placed inside an ancestor container with overflow: hidden; height: 0 (a common CSS trick used to visually crop/round native widget corners) become completely non-interactive. ❌ Symptom: No cursor, no focus state, no keyboard input, and placeholder text disappears. 🔄 Regression: The exact same markup and CSS worked perfectly in Photoshop 27.8 and prior. 💡 Scope: Only native Spectrum widgets are affected; standard HTML <textarea> / <input> elements continue to work under the same CSS layout. 2. Environment Photoshop Version: 27.9.1 (Broken) vs 27.8 (Working) OS: Windows (Confirmed) Extensibility Platform: UXP Panel Affected Widgets: <sp-textarea>, <sp-textfield> 3. Root Cause AnalysisThe plugin utilizes a .crop wrapper to clip and offset native inputs: CSS .crop { position: relative; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; height: 0; } The child (sp-textarea) is absolutely posi
Good afternoon, I’ve been experiencing some issues trying to save my ‘Layer Style’ into my Creative Cloud System. Whenever I try to create a new Layer Style, I receive this message: I’ve tried to fix this by following various methods I found here, or even on Youtube. But none of these methods seemed to work. These styles keep saving on my computer, and if I open the same document the style remains. However, I am afraid of ever closing or deleting a specific document in fear of losing this style. For reference, I have a Windows Computer, and all my adobe apps are currently updated. I’ve also already switched from ‘read-only’ to ‘read-write’ as far as I am aware, but for some reason it still doesn’t work.I’ve legit have no clue what I can do. Is there anyone that can help me fix this on my Photoshop?
attempting to use art history brush. When I pick a particular brush style, it converts the tool to the smug tool.
I have been having this problem for a few months. I am using Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1 and Photoshop 2023 or Lightroom Classic. I have long used presets but now, after I save one, when I come back to it the next time, the saved preset does not retain any of the settings. I tried uninstalling Photoshop 2023, rebooting, then re-install Photoshop 2023. The presets still don't retain settings. I've also tried deleting my P5000 printer from the system settings, and then re-installing my Epson driver. Again, doesn't fix the problem. I also tried printing from Safari and made a preset in Safari and this one does work as it is supposed to. If I then switch back to Photoshop, the preset created while in Safari works properly in Photoshop. I tried one more time to create a preset while in Photoshop, but it still will not work.
I use a general hard brush to draw and for the eraser I use a general hard brush as well. After some time the brush switches automatically to the eraser tool. I press "b" to switch back to the brush. As soon as my pen touches the Cintiq 22 inch it switches back to the eraser. I switch to another brush and the problem remains. If I save and restart PS the problem is gone. But it eventually comes back ... Mac OS 12.6PS 2023 24.0.0
I’m on Photoshop v27.8.0 and Windows 11. Expanding does not reveal the ‘l’.Screen resolution in my case is 1440p if that could be an issue.
It would be helpful to put the smoothing slider directly in the brush context window next to the brush size, as we adjust smoothness quite often while working.
Hello Adobe Photoshop Team,I would like to report a long-standing issue that has affected Photoshop for several years.Issue DescriptionThe problem occurs when working with a duplicated image layer.Steps to ReproduceOpen an image in Photoshop. Duplicate the image layer. Select the duplicated layer. Apply one or more of the following commands: Image → Auto Tone Image → Auto Color Image → Auto Contrast Verify that the color correction has been applied successfully. Perform another operation on the same duplicated layer, such as: Straightening the image. Scaling or transforming the layer. Expected BehaviorThe Auto Tone, Auto Color, or Auto Contrast adjustments should remain applied after any transform or straightening operation performed on the same layer.Actual BehaviorAs soon as the duplicated layer is straightened, scaled, or transformed, the image unexpectedly reverts to its original colors. The Auto adjustments are lost, as though they had never been applied, while the transform i
I have a JPG that I’m slicing up for email html. When I save for web it only saved one slice as my selected JPG output format, the other slices saved as PNG.I’ve tried selecting all slices before save for web. I’ve tried selecting all slices in the save for web window. Nothing seems to enforce my intended output format of JPG.Also, I have no idea why it’s choosing PNG. This image started life as a JPG. There is no transparency at all. This issue has been plaguing me for months!here’s an old post on the subject...
Hello, Is it possible to create the same tag for psjs files like jsx files ?

As the title says, when I attempt to draw in Photoshop, my brush lags significantly in a way that is impossible to work with. When moving the pen around at an average speed, the line appears behind it in short bursts with a few seconds between. This began about a week ago although I had not opened Photoshop for a while beforehand. This is only happening with Photoshop and only with my Cintiq. There is no lag when using the Cintiq with another drawing software, and no lag when using my older Intuos with Photoshop. I draw with fairly simple brushes on lower resolution canvases.My specs:Laptop- MSI GS65 Stealth 9SEOS- Windows 11Tablet- Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 PGraphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060CPU: Intel i7 The main things I have tried since the problem began:- Updated Photoshop from 2024 to 2025- Updated Wacom driver- Updated NVIDIA driver- Made sure GeForce overlay was turned off- Made sure Photoshop was still set to use the NVIDIA card- Made sure I had a decent amount of free
my Adobe photoshop web is not working. When I drag and drop a photo it says "we couldn't open your document. Please try reloading the page or signing into another account" I've tried reloading a bunch of times, I have no other account. My video card drivers are up to date, and all the other stuff suggested online. Please help
I have a MAC operating system. During the previous Photoshop update, I canceled the update after five hours of updating. As a result, the entire program was removed from my computer, which means that I lost all actions and Brush tools. Of course, I spent several hours reinstalling the brush tools and actions. The whole thing happened again during the last update. I contacted Adobe for help. An Adobe employee connected to my computer, found no errors, but unfortunately the issue happened again when he canceled the update and everything had to be reinstalled. Does anyone else have similar problems? If anyone has, how did they solve them, if that was even possible. In all likelihood, Adobe has problems, and then we customers are wasting hours trying to get the program back or upgrade it with all actions, Brush tool.Branko Teršek
Photoshop as an example, but actually this concerns all Adobe products: please launch the application window immediately behind the splash screen, instead of showing only the splash screen for several seconds.Splash screens without application window are nothing but inconvenient. Since Mac and Windows are both fully multi-desktop platforms in this day and age, it creates the followingProblem:Quickly swipe to an empty desktop to launch Photoshop, Illustrator or another Adobe app. Splash screen appears. You already know it takes several seconds, so you swipe back to another desktop to do whatever relevant. The Adobe app will now open on the active desktop; NOT on the empty desktop where you wanted to open it, and where the splash screen appeared.Solution:Launch the actual application window (placeholder) immediately behind the splash screen while the app is loading up. This way the application window does not launch on another desktop if you switch desktops while the app is still loading
The border overlaps onto the image and makes it darker. What setting is causing this? It occurs whether I do the sky replacement completely in Ps or if I start the image processing in Lr and use the “edit in photoshop” feature. It does not happen to the same images used in On1 sky replacement so Photoshop is the chief suspect. The sky in the examples shown below was made smaller so the border was visible to illustrate the problem.Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction. I’m out of ideas for where else to look for the cause.Bottom of sky imageTop of sky image
After a recent update, I can no longer permanently turn off “Show Extras” and layer/selection edges. I don’t want any edges, bounding boxes, etc showing. How can I turn these off globally and permanently like I could before? When I close all files, those options under View are greyed out.
On the single adjustments panel, I’d like to keep my most used tools at the top in the order I’ve used them for years.With the updates I understand putting new features at the top. It kills my flow though and I have to relearn where the tools are. Would like to keep things the way they were for years. please bring this feature back.
Yesterday morning it was working just fine at first, but by about the 10th photo I was editing, the Selection Brush’s add more setting stopped functioning. It performs like the add less. The add less works correctly. I cleared my browser cache, restarted my browser, tried a different browser, restarted my computer, and none of those helped. I asked the built in AI and they advised trying in an incognito window incase it was a plug-in interfering. Still no difference. I tried a different image, thinking maybe that was the issue. No change. The AI said that it is most likely a bug on your end, so here we are. Note: No, I do not have the ability to install the desktop version on this particular PC.
While Perspective Warp is active, allow users to hold the Z key to temporarily activate Photoshop’s Zoom tool. Releasing Z should immediately return control to Perspective Warp without committing, canceling, or resetting the current perspective grid.Photoshop normally supports holding Z for temporary zooming while another tool is active, but this behavior is unavailable in the Perspective Warp workspace. Although zoom percentages and some alternate navigation methods may be available, they are less direct and interrupt precise grid placement.Supporting hold-Z zoom would make Perspective Warp consistent with Photoshop’s normal navigation behavior and make it easier to position grid corners accurately on detailed images.
All of a sudden, when I open any image in Photoshop, the colors appear to be desaturated...In Photoshop only. When I open that same image in Window Picture Viewer, or Quicktimer, or even if I drag the image into a brower window, the colors appear fine. But in Photoshop, something is clearly wrong. Now, I can make color adjustments to the image, but when I save and reopen reopen it in another application, I can see that color changes have been made, but they still don't match what Photoshop is displaying.The images are RGB image...I've checked the color space setings in Photoshop, and they are the default (Edit > Color Settings: North American General Purpose 2 / RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 / CMYK: US Web Coated (SWOP) V2, etc, etc). I also made sure View > Proof Setup was set to: Working CMYK. I even reset Photoshop to it's default settings (by holding down CTRL-ALT-SHIFT on launching Photoshop)...But the images still appear desaturated when I open them in Photoshop...So, I don't unde
I have tried to just suck it up that Photoshop is flooded with AI features now, but the addition of Generative AI features in Camera Raw, and more specifically that they have taken a hierarchical priority in the panels, is infuriating and borderline insulting from a consumer standpoint. Adobe is diluting the individual purposes of each of their apps by pushing duplicate AI features across every interface they can find. ACR is for editing RAW photos. Photoshop is for manipulating them. Why can you not keep it this way? These features are also in Photoshop, which I often use after editing in ACR. They are literally being shoved in our faces in every corner of every Adobe application. I use these features in Photoshop. I do not want them in ACR, because they are used for completely different things. I now have to alter my workflow and take extra time to AVOID using them because they are intentionally put in the way. If you want to crop your photo you now have to click twice instead of
A realistic shadow helps your subject feel grounded in the scene. In Photoshop, there are several ways to create one, depending on your subject and lighting. Based on workflows shared by experts in the Photoshop community, we've brought together a few of the most effective techniques here. Choose the method that best fits your workflow. Method 1: Using Generative AIAI can speed up the setup, but you will still get the best results by refining the shadow yourself.Use Select Subject or Remove Background to quickly isolate your object. Use Generative Fill to extend the surface where the shadow will fall. Learn more. You can also use Harmonize. It analyzes the lighting, color, and tone of the scene, and can also generate a matching shadow to help the subject feel more naturally integrated. Learn more. Refine the generated shadow manually using one of the methods above for the most realistic result. Method 2: Drop Shadow EffectThis is the quickest way to add depth and separation to elemen
